Your Priorities & Objectives

As a director or general/senior manager, you're charged with translating the strategic goals of your business into an operational strategy for you and your team to execute. In the hectic day-to-day life of running operations, it can be easy to lose sight of this - problems and issues detract from short-term goals, and short-term needs can conflict with long term objectives.  Trying to bridge the gap between forecast planning and short-term reality is challenging, and any decisions made here will have ripple effects across your entire organization.  The only way to balance all of this while also making progress on your operational strategy is to be agile enough to rapidly adapt to whatever comes your way.  

‍

Before getting to the solution, here are the Operational and Financial KPIs that you should be familiar with in your business to know how well you are servicing your customers and how well you are running your operations.

Financial KPIs
  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
  • Operating Expenses
  • Labor Productivity
  • Production Efficiency:
  • Profit Margins:

Operational KPIs

How well you service your customers is a key component of how quick you can grow your sales.  How well you run your operations is a key component of how efficiently you manage your costs.  Improvements in either one of these will lead to better financial returns and those that can improve both can easily steal market share from the competition.

  • On-Time Delivery (OTD)
  • Cost Per Unit
  • Lead Time
  • Cycle Time
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

The Veryable Solution

Veryable’s On-Demand Labor Marketplace

‍Labor drives every aspect of operational performance, and mismatches in staffing can quickly disrupt throughput and service levels. Veryable’s On-Demand Labor Marketplace allows operations teams to create a flexible pool of pre-vetted operators, ready to scale up or down in real time based on actual daily demand. This gives your facility the agility to cover peaks, prevent bottlenecks, and reduce overtime costs, all while keeping core employees from being overextended. Matching headcount precisely to workload ensures smoother operations, more consistent productivity, and better cost control.

‍

Veryable’s Workforce Management Platform

‍Veryable’s WFM platform consolidates data from ERP, WMS, MES, HRIS, and other systems into a single operational view. By linking labor allocation directly to real-time production and throughput metrics, WFM eliminates guesswork and manual scheduling, allowing your team to deploy labor efficiently across shifts and work centers. Automated scheduling and integrated access to the On-Demand Labor Marketplace ensure coverage without overstaffing or overworking employees, while real-time dashboards highlight throughput, labor cost per unit, and team performance, enabling fast, data-driven decisions.

‍

How They Work Together

‍Combined, WFM and the On-Demand Labor Marketplace give operations leaders full control and flexibility. WFM identifies gaps and demand fluctuations, while the Marketplace instantly fills those gaps with qualified operators. The result is a workforce that’s responsive, cost-efficient, and capable of maintaining high service levels—even during unpredictable demand or unexpected disruptions.

What Operations Leaders Are Saying

“During our morning production meetings, we look at orders with the most immediate due date first…if I see that we’re at risk of getting behind, I log on to the Veryable platform, post Ops to my labor pool, and have those operators in the next morning. The speed at which I can respond to changes in demand allows me to be proactive rather than reactive with my labor planning.”

Chuck Cairatti

Director of Operations, DNI Corp

"I think it's been wonderful for us because I'm able to get the throughput I need by expanding the numbers or contracting the numbers based on what the need is. It really gives me a sense of confidence."

Amy Robertson

Director of Manufacturing, Feniex

"Where before, we were having a hard time getting everything done and getting the trucks out on time, now we're getting them out not only on time, but early ... and some nights, very early. It's been a huge difference.”

Steve MacMunn

Operations Manager, Gold Coast Eagle Distributing

"Everything, you know, is cost per order, and we are able to keep that as minimal as we can with Veryable. With the peaks and valleys that we do see, we see a lot more valleys than we do peaks, and it's very fast and very short durations of them. So being able to kind of throttle that headcount here has been just tremendous as far as savings."

Wilson Duke

Warehouse Director, Made In Cookware

“Distribution Management has made significant investments in technology to support our same-day fulfillment strategy. Coupled with Veryable’s on-demand Marketplace, it allows us to solve for real-time capacity gaps that support our 99.98% on-time SLA."

Alex McCoy

Supply Chain Director, Distribution Management

"We can have people come in and do criteria checks. So we just teach them to use a couple of tools and show them what they need to measure. And that takes a lot of the weight off of our skilled full time employees... If they don't have to stop and do criteria checks on every part that comes out, then they're able to produce more parts in the machine."

Mickey Raynoha

Manager, Mack Tool & Engineering
